AI Technical Summary
Existing fluorophore-labeled uPAR-targeting peptide conjugates face issues with solubility and stability, particularly in compositions with low water content, which affect their effectiveness in diagnostic and therapeutic applications.
The compositions include a formulation with low water content, typically less than 5% by weight, incorporating a surfactant and cryoprotectant to enhance solubilization and stability, along with specific buffer systems, ensuring complete solubilization and high stability of the fluorophore-labeled receptor-targeting peptide conjugates.
The formulation achieves complete solubilization and high stability of the conjugates, enabling optimal surgical removal of tumors by providing a favorable pharmacokinetic profile with a high tumor-to-background ratio (TBR) and selective binding to uPAR receptors, facilitating effective cancer diagnosis and treatment.
